  • Description                                                            
    • * Lies largely in the floor of the lesser sac in the epigastric and left hypochondriac regions.
    • * Is a retroperitoneal organ except for a small portion of its tail, which lies in the lienorenal ligament.
    • * Has a head that lies within the C-shaped concavity of the duodenum.
    • * Has an uncinate process, which is a projection of the lower part of the head to the left side behind the superior mesenteric vessels.
    • * Receives blood from branches of the splenic artery and from the superior and inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries.
    • * Has two ducts, the main pancreatic duct and the accessory pancreatic duct.

                                                                                                                        

  • Main Pancreatic Duct:
    • * Begins in the tail, runs to the right along the entire pancreas, and carries pancreatic juice containing enzymes.
    • * Joins the bile duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater) before entering the second part of the duodenum at the greater papilla.
